Get Green at the Green Depot
Posted on March 8, 2010 by

I love discovering places that are committed to selling green products. More and more businesses out there are incorporating green products into their wares — I remember when Allie first professed her love for Ecover detergent I had no idea where to find it. Now I can easily pick up a box from my local Kroger.
But what I love discovering even more is places that are fully committed to green products, like Green Depot. I was in NYC this past week and while walking around town one day, I just happened to walk by Green Depot on Bowery in Manhattan, so I had to stop in for a look. Inside I found every green product you could imagine: cleaning products, paint, candles, baby bedding, flooring, furniture. You name it, if you can make it in a sustainable manner, it was probably there.

The store has only been open for about a year, but the Brooklyn company got its start about five years ago as a supplier of green building materials. Right now, the flagship Manhattan shop appears to the only all-encompassing lifestyle store, but there are still Green Depot building supply stores all around the northeast. For those of us who aren’t so fortunate to have either kind of location nearby, there’s a website you can order from.
While I’m completely bummed that this awesome store isn’t accessible to everyone, maybe by supporting its website, we can help Green Depot to grow its business and expand around the country. (I can always dream, right?)















That is SO cool! I have to go the next time I’m downstate. Wow!
